Welding Metallurgy
‘Welding is the joining of two or more pieces of metal by applying heat or pressure, or both, with or without the addition of filler metal, to produce a localized union through fusion or recrystallization across the interface’.

1. Weld Metal All metal melted during the making of a weld and retained in the weld.
2. Weld Zone The zone containing the weld metal and the HAZ.
3. Parent Metal Metal to be joined or surfaced by welding.
4. Fusion Penetration The depth to which the parent metal has been fused.

5. Weld Junction The boundary between the fusion zone and the HAZ.
6. Root (of Weld) The zone on the side of the first run farthest from the welder.
7. Fusion Zone The part of the parent metal that is melted into the weld.
8. Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) The HAZ is the subject of continuing interest since it involves a wide range of temperatures from the welding operation that can significantly alter the base metal's metallurgy and associated mechanical and physical properties.

Grain Coarsened HAZ
Grain Coarsened HAZThe peak temperatures reached in the Grain Coarsened HAZ region range from 1090°C to 1480oC, depending on the carbon content.
Another way to describe this temperature range in metallurgical terms, is that it extends from much above the upper critical transformation temperature to just below the solidifying temperature.

Grain Refinement HAZ
Grain Refinement HAZThis region comprises temperature from just above the lower critical transformation temperature and up to 816oC. These temperatures are within the normalizing heat treatment range and are very conducive to austenitic grain refinement

Intercritical HAZ
Intercritical HAZThe temperatures in this region includes the intercritical ranges, between the lower and upper critical temperatures.

Subcritical HAZ
Subcritical HAZ
The subcritical-HAZ includes the tempered area of the Fe-Fe3C phase diagram. Should the base metal be in the tempered condition (i.e. quenched and tempered) the heat of welding may be sufficient for further tempering, thereby reducing the tensile strength and hardness in this region. There are no phase transformations which take place in the tempered area since the lower critical transformation temperature is not exceeded.
